Ed, Edd 'n' Eddy/Fridge: Difference between revisions
→Fridge Brilliance
Line 17:
** This moment casts a very different light about Edd's anger: he got angry not because of the prank itself, but because the pranks reminded him of how much of an awful friend Eddy was to both him and Ed, and his calling out Eddy exclusively is not just because of what he did to him, but also because he frequently influenced Ed into going along with his pranks.
* Speaking of Eddy, he frequently mistreats them and seems cheerfully oblivious to their plight despite being his [[True Companions|surrogate brothers]]. Then you see his brother treating him almost the exact same way, it becomes clear he sees it as a normal way to show affection to them. [[Fridge Horror|Sheesh...]]
**
* Eddy's bullying of Jimmy starts making sense once seen [[The Movie]]. Jimmy is frequently thought by Eddy as a coward, a crybaby and a doormat. When you see Eddy being mistreated by his brother, Eddy acts very much the same way. In short, Jimmy is the walking reminder of Eddy's self-hatred. In fact, this serves as a factor in his mentoring of Jimmy in "Ed In a Halfshell", which very much gives more than enough hints of Eddy's relationship with his brother prior to [[The Movie]].
* In [[The Movie]], the ''[[Wizard of Oz]]'' reference seems to be a one-shot gag at first, but at the climax, it turns out those things are the keys they needed to be accepted, since they solve the problems the kids had with the Eds to begin with. Think about it: [[Extreme Doormat|Edd]] first caught the kids' sympathy [[Took a Level in Badass|by standing up to Eddy's Brother]]. Then [[The Ditz|Ed]] follows suit by [[Awesomeness by Analysis|using Newton's Third Law to knock him out]]. Finally, [[Jerkass|Eddy]] [[Broken Tears|cries and apologizes for everything he did]], and his heart is what gains the kids' full-blown acceptance.
** Related to the above, what was the thing that made them find those missing items? [[The Power of Friendship|Their friendship]]. Ed found his brain after seeing his best friends being hurt, Edd found courage upon witnessing Eddy being beaten up, and Eddy's heart was unlocked over nearly losing his best friends.
* Many found weird Ed merely using a door and Newton's Third Law to defeat Eddy's Brother, given his [[Super Strength]]. But remember that the last time Ed went medieval on someone, he nearly killed Plank. He was trying to prove he's ''nothing'' like Eddy's Brother, and so [[Tranquil Fury|channeled his rage to keep himself rational while still delivering him his just desserts]].
